U.S. News surveyed 185 medical schools engaged in primary care that were accredited either by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education or the American Osteopathic Association. A total of 120 schools responded with the data required for the study.

The schools were rated for eight indicators, including student selectivity, faculty-student ratio, primary care rate and a quality assessment.
